The monarch will be laid to rest with her late husband Prince Philip at the King George VI
memorial chapel during a private service and burial on Monday evening. This will follow her state funeral at Westminster Abbey, which begins at 11am. Details: Journey to Westminster Abbey The lying in state at Westminster Hall will conclude at 6.30am, with the doors closed in preparation for the funeral. Shortly after 10.35am, the coffin will be lifted and carried in procession to the state gun carriage of the Royal Navy positioned outside the north door. The 123-year-old gun carriage will then set off at 10.44am, pulled by 98 Royal Navy sailors using ropes in a tradition that dates back to the funeral of Queen Victoria, with the route to the Abbey lined by members of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines. A tri-service guard of honour will take place on Parliament Square, accompanied by the band of the Royal Marines. Following the Queen's coffin will be the King, Anne, Andrew and Edward. Behind them will be the Queen's grandsons Peter Phillips, the Duke of Sussex and the Prince of Wales. They will be followed by the Queen's son-in-law Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, her cousin the Duke of Gloucester, and her nephew the Earl of Snowdon. The procession, led by a massed Pipes & Drums of Scottish and Irish Regiments, the Brigade of Gurkhas, and the Royal Air Force and numbering 200 musicians, will arrive at 10.52 and the coffin will be carried into the Abbey for the service. The doors to Westminster Abbey will have opened at 8.00am to allow the general congregation to take their seats, with a total of 2,000 people expected to gather for the funeral. |

Towards the end of the service, the Last Post will be played, followed by a national two-
minute silence. The conclusion of the state funeral, expected at 12:00, will be marked by a lament played by the Queen's piper. |

Yeah Andrew and Anne, the Queen stopped breeding corgis in 2012 as she didnt want to leave young dogs behind and I think the last of her corgis died in 2015 but in 2020 she was given a puppy, after Philip died Andrew gave her a puppy so I guess the deal was he would look after it.

I was in Sainsburys this morning buying a loaf of bread when an old woman asked the assistant if Sainsburys would be closed next Monday, the day of the funeral.
I chuckled to myself a bit because Sainburys is always open on Bank Holidays. Shocked, I heard the assistant say Sainburys would be closed all day Monday. Wow. |
